You will work in a group to research a person for your project.EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE ON YOUR WIKI PAGE. THERE IS NO COMMUNCATION DONE OFF OF YOUR WIKI PAGE! You will record the information (and list the sources) on your shared page. ALL of your communication with your group needs to be done online. A list of possible people are below. Only 1 group can research a person so you must get it approved with me by the end of class on Wed, Jan 26. Your sources need to be website addresses (EX: www.wikipedia.org/georgewashington/), not Wikipedia.
Any US President
A world leader
A religious leader
Someone important to the world (not an athlete, singer, or actor)
Famous Author
Scientist
Astronaut
Civil Rights Leader
Someone who made a difference in the world
It can not be someone that you personally know.
Step 1: Get on your discussion board and decide who you are going to research.
Step 2: Give each person a job. You need to have a Fact Finder, a Fact Checker, a Typer (the person who puts the facts into paragraph form), and an editor. If you have more or less people than jobs, then adjust as needed for what suits your group the best. You can discuss those jobs on your discussion board as well.
Step 3: Begin work. You must have your facts and your paragraph on the same page. Organize the page in a way that is easy for you to use. You may type in a Word document then copy it to your Wiki page when you are completely done. You must have a final draft to turn in by Friday, November 19.
